my good  fathers good friend gave me the 
  
  fostex x fifteen                      
  
 and  its   a  two track   tape  recorder 
                                          
 i don't really get how it works. it  has 
 two x rca in, two x  rca out, and four x 
 rca "tape out" which i guess is all four 
 channels on  the cassette - which  means 
 the b  side is played  backwards if it's 
                like that                 
                                          
 so now i  have  to differentiate between 
 four track cassettes and two x two track 
       ones... or not, just as well       
                                          
                                   
                                          
 it featyures  a low noise floor which is 
 great,  but  there   is  some  dithering 
 noise  or if it  is  the  motor, i  dont 
                  know,                   
 also there is a  really rad red cassette 
                slot cover                
                                          
                                    
                                          
 it  does  not have  a  speed hole  but 
 rather a  much neater  actual speed knob 
 i    dont   know   the   percentage   of 
 difference but it applies  also  to fast 
            forward and rewind            
                                          
  
  future refusals                       
  
                                          
 update: this  fuckers  gone  whacko  and 
 you need to flip it  over constantly and 
 get   in    there    with   your    hand
